Great Article on Blogging with Sales in Mind

Posted on August 24th, 2010 by Matt Sampson - Colorado Web Solutions

Hi Everyone –

I read an article this morning that I wanted to share with you from Social Media Examiner (http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com). The author, Nathan, did an excellent job providing concrete examples of how your blog can be used better as a sales tool, without coming across like a sales tool. I’ll include a little of the article below and provide a link to the full text.

If you do not have a blog for your Yahoo Store yet, we can set one up for you for very little money.

Enjoy!

No matter how great your company is at playing the social media game, let’s not kid ourselves… The ultimate goal for many businesses is profit, not engagements, retweets or Facebook likes.

The real question is how many people are buying what you’re selling?

Unfortunately, getting your blog readers to buy what you’re selling, especially if you run an online business, can be difficult. This article will reveal a proven technique to turn your blog into a sales engine.

If your social media campaigns are not netting you any cash, then you’ll be out of the game in a hurry.

Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are great marketing channels, but the blog is king. If you aren’t setting your blog up to convert when new Twitter or Facebook users come your way, then your entire content marketing plan will be in jeopardy.

So what do you do to overcome this? You not only have to find a way to build in social proof, provide a value proposition, craft an offer and convince readers that your product is worthwhile, but you also have to do it in a way that isn’t pushy, doesn’t confuse people and works for you around the clock.

Sounds impossible, right? Wrong.

This article will introduce the concept of using your blog as a lateral sales page.

I am very happy to announce that we have just launched a brand new version of 15SEO.com and with that launch we have added the ability to order a FREE SEO REPORT with absolutely no obligation. We don’t even need a credit card from you!

In addition to the new “Freebie” SEO Program we are offering, we have added two new paid options to the mix to bring the total packages to five. We offer Monthly, Weekly and even Daily SEO reporting now. Our monthly packages start at only $15 a month!

There are way too many features to list them all here, so if you would like to get more in-depth information about 15SEO’s features, please click here to view them all.

In a nut shell, 15SEO offers you the ability to track your store’s ranking within the three major search engines, Yahoo.com, Google.com and Bing.com.

In addition, we send monthly tips and guidance for Yahoo Store owners to work within their own store and improve their search engine rankings.

What reports are prepared every month for your Yahoo Store?

An overview report on your SEO success

You will receive an in-depth analysis online of your sites performance, changes and rankings in relation to the search engines and keywords you have specified. These reports will aggregate the data so each month you’ll see performance trends and overall statistics.

Keywords that are newly indexed in the engines

Another great way to measure your results. If you are adding fresh content on a fairly regular basis, you should start to see more and more keywords added to this list each month. This is a list of any keyword that was not listed in the previous month and now is listed in one of the engines.

Average position within the Search Engines

It’s important to have details and data, but it’s also important to be able to glance at your data quickly and identify your SEO success. This report simply averages out all of your rankings into a final number and then graphs that data every month creating a trend report of your ranking success.

Keywords no longer listed in the engines

We hope that this list is always empty, but inevitably listings move up and down and you’re bound to have keywords fall from the top 5 pages from time to time. This list will give you a heads up of keywords that used to be listed but no longer are in the current month.

Every keyword and where it ranks

Every month we will provide you with a full list of all the keywords we are tracking for you and where they rank in the three major engines. This list provides a great overview of your SEO success. Each keyword can be clicked on to view an individual success report over time and view more detailed info.

Every URL found Report

As we are running your reports every month, we also keep track of every individual URL we see from your site. We will provide you with a list of all the url’s (web pages on your site) that we found and on which engines they were found. You can further click the link and see all of the keywords that listed that particular URL.

Top 5 Rising Keywords

Have you been targeting specific keywords that you hope to promote higher in the engines within your content and blog? This is a list of the 5 keywords that are climbing the fastest in the search engines. A perfect way to see your work paying off.

Top 5 Falling Keywords

A lot of energy is put into getting keywords phrases higher and higher in the search engines. Once the terms are indexed we tend to move on to new keywords. This list will give you some red flags of keywords that are falling out of favor in the engines and allow you to react before it is too late to save them.

Keywords not listed in the engines

This is one of the most useful reports you will ever receive for your website. All of the keywords on this list are terms that are not found on any one of the particular engines. We highly suggest using this list to help populate any new content, blog posts, etc that you add to your site.

Keywords in the #1 Position Report

This is our favorite list! Any keyword you are tracking that returns your site as the number one result is listed on this list. In a perfect world, you would see 40 keywords listed on this list every month.

As you can see, we offer a great deal of information for Yahoo Store Owners. Our programs start at only $15 a month so they will fit in virtually any store owners budget and provide great data for continued SEO success.

I truly hope that you enjoy the new features and reports we are now offering at 15SEO.com. Stop by for your Free SEO Report and see for yourself the power that SEO insight can provide.
